Not the Way I Used to Be

Everything that passes by me
Seems to be a lovely shade of you
Safe to say the only thing
I see from day to day is all a let down
I'm so tired now
I'm mean and I'm sorry
It's not the way I used to be
But I'm sure you'll get used to me
Just please don't stay too long

You can call it masterpiece
Or you can move too fast to see
The images displayed
For your enjoyment colors spread before you
Call it yours
It's not for sale
It's free for all the children of god
Beneath the sun
It's really not that hard to understand
Why we're in pain together
No one's guaranteed forever
Calm collective wrong assessment
Trust my hate don't second guess it
Trust my selfish holy intentions
Steal your brain right out from your head
No peace no rest
For the justice silence gets
Just stop think for a minute
You don't have to give so you can get it
Don't pay the rent just take that land back
Chose how life gets better spent
Cause I'm here alive
And I don't know why

Everything that passes by me
Seems to be a lovely shade of you
Safe to say the only thing
I see from day to day is all a let down
I'm so tired now
I'm mean and I'm sorry
It's not the way I used to be
But I'm sure you'll get used to me
Just please don't stay too long
